Support Vector Machines (SVM), a popular machine learning technique, has been applied to a wide range of domains such as science, finance, and social networks for supervised learning. Whether it is identifying high-risk patients by health-care professionals, or potential high-school students to enroll in college by school districts, SVMs can play a major role for social good. This paper undertakes the challenge of designing a scalable parallel SVM training algorithm for large scale systems, which includes commodity multi-core machines, tightly connected supercomputers and cloud computing systems. Intuitive techniques for improving the time-space complexity including adaptive elimination of samples for faster convergence and sparse format representation are proposed. Under sample elimination, several heuristics for {em earliest possible} to {em lazy} elimination of non-contributing samples are proposed. In several cases, where an early sample elimination might result in a false positive, low overhead mechanisms for reconstruction of key data structures are proposed. The algorithm and heuristics are implemented and evaluated on various publicly available datasets. Empirical evaluation shows up to 26x speed improvement on some datasets against the sequential baseline, when evaluated on multiple compute nodes, and an improvement in execution time up to 30-60% is readily observed on a number of other datasets against our parallel baseline.

The support vector machines (SVM) is one of the most widely used and practical optimization based classification models in machine learning because of its interpretability and flexibility to produce high quality results. However, the big data imposes

We review the concept of support vector machines (SVMs) and discuss examples of their use. One of the benefits of SVM algorithms, compared with neural networks and decision trees is that they can be less susceptible to over fitting than those other a
lgorithms are to over training. This issue is related to the generalisation of a multivariate algorithm (MVA); a problem that has often been overlooked in particle physics. We discuss cross validation and how this can be used to improve the generalisation of a MVA in the context of High Energy Physics analyses. The examples presented use the Toolkit for Multivariate Analysis (TMVA) based on ROOT and describe our improvements to the SVM functionality and new tools introduced for cross validation within this framework.
We develop a machine learning framework that can be applied to data sets derived from the trajectories of Hamiltons equations. The goal is to learn the phase space structures that play the governing role for phase space transport relevant to particul
ar applications. Our focus is on learning reactive islands in two degrees-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems. Reactive islands are constructed from the stable and unstable manifolds of unstable periodic orbits and play the role of quantifying transition dynamics. We show that support vector machines (SVM) is an appropriate machine learning framework for this purpose as it provides an approach for finding the boundaries between qualitatively distinct dynamical behaviors, which is in the spirit of the phase space transport framework. We show how our method allows us to find reactive islands directly in the sense that we do not have to first compute unstable periodic orbits and their stable and unstable manifolds. We apply our approach to the Henon-Heiles Hamiltonian system, which is a benchmark system in the dynamical systems community. We discuss different sampling and learning approaches and their advantages and disadvantages.
This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of the PyTorch distributed data parallel module. PyTorch is a widely-adopted scientific computing package used in deep learning research and applications. Recent advances in deep learning
argue for the value of large datasets and large models, which necessitates the ability to scale out model training to more computational resources. Data parallelism has emerged as a popular solution for distributed training thanks to its straightforward principle and broad applicability. In general, the technique of distributed data parallelism replicates the model on every computational resource to generate gradients independently and then communicates those gradients at each iteration to keep model replicas consistent. Despite the conceptual simplicity of the technique, the subtle dependencies between computation and communication make it non-trivial to optimize the distributed training efficiency. As of v1.5, PyTorch natively provides several techniques to accelerate distributed data parallel, including bucketing gradients, overlapping computation with communication, and skipping gradient synchronization. Evaluations show that, when configured appropriately, the PyTorch distributed data parallel module attains near-linear scalability using 256 GPUs.
A widely-used tool for binary classification is the Support Vector Machine (SVM), a supervised learning technique that finds the maximum margin linear separator between the two classes. While SVMs have been well studied in the batch (offline) setting
, there is considerably less work on the streaming (online) setting, which requires only a single pass over the data using sub-linear space. Existing streaming algorithms are not yet competitive with the batch implementation. In this paper, we use the formulation of the SVM as a minimum enclosing ball (MEB) problem to provide a streaming SVM algorithm based off of the blurred ball cover originally proposed by Agarwal and Sharathkumar. Our implementation consistently outperforms existing streaming SVM approaches and provides higher accuracies than libSVM on several datasets, thus making it competitive with the standard SVM batch implementation.
